What can agroecology do for climate change adaptation and food security? – The Case of soil protection and rehabilitation
Systemic approaches such as agroecology are needed to sustainably transform food systems and improve food security while fostering adaptation to climate change. This brief draws from participatory assessments of agroecological practices for soil protection and rehabilitation in 7 countries. It demonstrates how such practices can contribute to effective adaptation strategies and provides recommendations on integrating adaptation concerns into soil health interventions.
Gender Strategy of GIZ project on Private Adaptation Finance
Tackling gender inequality and disparities is crucial to build resilient communities and economies. This Gender Strategy outlines the steps the GIZ’s project on Private Adaptation Finance (PAF) – part of the global project NDC Assist II – undertakes to mainstream gender when mobilizing mobilizing finance and investment in private sector solutions for climate change adaptation and resilience.
Stocktake Report – Climate Justice in the Implementation of Ecosystem-based Adaptation
The objective of this stocktake is to frame the topic of climate justice in EbA, capture main developments in international frameworks, summarise key challenges documented and reported during the workshop series on climate justice, and identify entry points and strategies that different actors have described and employed in addressing this topic.
Launch Event: Synergies between adaptation, biodiversity and mitigation
In Oktober 2022, the IKI-funded and GIZ-implemented Global Project Mainstreaming EbA hosted an online launch event for the publication ‘Synergies between adaptation, biodiversity and mitigation: How Ecosystem-based Adaptation can build bridges between Nationally Determined Contributions and the new Global Biodiversity Framework’.
Climate Resilience – What can we learn from Pastoral Systems in Africa’s Drylands?
This policy brief gives an overview of pastoral systems in Africa’s drylands in the face of a changing climate – and serves as a short version of a technical background paper. It highlights the remarkable ability of pastoralists to adapt to the impacts of climate change, gives valuable insights and offers lessons e.g. for smallholder farming in drylands. The publication explores key factors enabling and hampering the resilience of pastoral systems. It demonstrates the link between pastoralists’ climate resilience and agroecological principles of good governance and diversification.
Pastoralism and Resilience of Food Production in the Face of Climate Change
This technical background paper dives deep into pastoral systems in Africa’s drylands in the face of a changing climate – and complements a shorter policy brief. It highlights the remarkable ability of pastoralists to adapt to the impacts of climate change, gives valuable insights and offers lessons e.g. for smallholder farming in drylands. The publication explores key factors enabling and hampering the resilience of pastoral systems. It demonstrates the link between pastoralists’ climate resilience and agroecological principles of good governance and diversification. As an appropriate enabling environment is based on good governance, access to land and water, strong customary institutions, diversification and integration of different systems.
Launch Event: Climate Justice in Ecosystem-based Adaptation – The new Publication Collection
The IKI-funded and GIZ-implemented Global Project Mainstreaming EbA hosted an online launch event for the new collection of publications on ‘Climate justice in Ecosystem-based Adaptation’. In early 2022 the Global Project on Mainstreaming EbA together with FAKT Consult launched a process to assess and contribute to bridging the gap between theory and practice of justice-based EbA.
Launch Event: Synergies Between Biodiversity and Climate Policy Frameworks
This online launch event of six thematic papers on ‘Synergies Between Biodiversity and Climate Policy Frameworks’ includes presentations of the thematic paper series’ key findings from a policy, science and implementation perspective. The series is published as a package and provides an overview, a sound scientific basis, as well as inspirational examples and case studies of synergies between biodiversity and climate change commitments.
